Depending on your age, you probably had a teacher who constantly reprimanded students for having their phones out in class or even just the presence of any sort of technology or devices that they felt detracted from their lessons. When you get out of school, you come to find that some managers operate in exactly the same way, seemingly confusing effective management with policing their workers as if they were still children.

‘Was I hired by mistake?’: New hire starts their first day only to be sent home because nobody knew they were coming, they start questioning whether they should quit

The first day of starting a new job is not at all as exciting as one imagines it to be. You always expect it to be a great new adventure and that people will welcome you with open arms, but that is often not the case. There are so many logistics when it comes to adding a new employee to a company, that the first day is usually just a chaotic bureaucratic mess, and you might go home at the end of the day and question whether or not you made a mistake. The important thing to remember is that ever…

'I said no': Employee told not to do work after clocking out, boss asks him to turn the light off one day, he maliciously complies and refuses

No one likes to be told what to do, especially after working hours. In theory, it's simple to remember that after your employee has clocked out, they are in no way entitled to follow your direction as a manager. However, every so often, we come across a story where someone takes that mentality a bit too far. In this instance , we have an employee who was strictly told when he was first onboarded to never take on extra responsibilities after he clocks out. That's a nice, mutually beneficial work…

Boyfriend insists on receiving 2/3 of woman's lottery winnings for his dog, demanding an additional $10k: 'My boyfriend is now dead serious about wanting me to give [him] "Baxter’s share" of the money'

We all get a little weird and crazy about our pets; that's part of what you sign up for when you devote a significant portion of your time, energy, and financial resources to a fluffy little ball of chaos living with you in your home. I'd argue that, in fact, the entire concept is a little bit crazy, and if you weren't already when you decided to get a furry friend, I promise you that you will soon be driven so. Still, no matter how much we consider our pets members of our families, even the mo…

'You get paid more than I do. You figure it out': Sick employee pressured to come in after manager can't find coverage

Calling out sick when you need the money is not something employees want to do. Of course, most managers don't even consider this. They just assumed that the sick employee is just lazy, when in reality, it often takes a lot of effort and strength to admit to oneself and to others that you're not well enough to do your job today. As for how this manager reacted to an employee's health update, it should be up to the manager to find last-minute coverage; that is, after all, a manager's role. Emplo…
